Start time: 8h30 am
Day 1: Hue to Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park
We will pick you up at your hotel (or at other pre-arranged location) in Hue around 8:30AM. Before we leave Hue we will ask you if you like to visit some Hue sights before we leave for the actual tour, in case you have not had time to visit Hue before. This is optional, but if you like we can stop at the Tu Duc tomb, Tien Mu Pagoda and Hue Citadel for some Hue sightseeing. Note that the entrance fees for these three sights is NOT included in the price.
After this we take a drive along the countryside where you will see, amongst others, a beautiful landscape, rice fields and small villages. The road to Phong Nha National Park, then continues along the coast, where you’ll get magnificent views of the ocean and white sand beaches. If you want to take a swim, of course we will make a short stop at the beach.
We now continue to the Vinh Moc tunnels. But before you get to walk around in the maze like tunnel system – made by the local villagers during the Vietnam War – we will have some lunch at a local restaurant. After the lunch break, you will first get the chance to visit the Vinh Moc museum, where you can learn a little bit about the amazing work of art that was made by the locals, in a very difficult time. Once you step out from the museum, you get to explore the tunnels together with the driver and/or a local guide, that can be hired.
After Vinh Moc, we head to Cua Tung beach, where we will stay for the night. Here you have the option to take a swim in the ocean, before or after, having dinner.
Day 2: Cua Tung beach to Phong Nha
After breakfast we go to the DMZ – the border between north and south Vietnam. When we continue, we drive onto the Ho Chi Minh Trail – the east road – and drive to Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park. Here we visit the Thien Duong Cave, or better known as the Paradise Cave, said to be one of the most beautiful and magnificent caves in the world. You will explore the cave for one or two hours – it is basically up to you, how long you want your visit to last. When finished, the guide will take you to your preferred drop off location. If you want to be dropped off at the bus- or train station (perhaps you want to continue to Hanoi or some other destination), then the guide will take you there. The guide will also be of assistance in buying the bus- or train ticket, if needed. If you, instead, want to stay longer in Phong Nha, we will drop you off at your hotel.
